Four people have been arrested in connection with the stabbing of the father of FC Barcelona footballer Lamine Yamal, Mounir Nasraou.

The events took place on Wednesday evening in a car park in Mataró, where the family are from.

The father of the blaugrana player is now in a stable condition and his life is not in danger, as he himself said on Instagram.

The first three arrests were made on Wednesday night by the local police of Mataró, while the fourth was detained for attempted murder on Thursday morning.
